Interchange lens between large format cameras in Large Format Posted December 7, 1997 Question: I have a lens which I want to use it on 2 different kind oflarge format cameras (non-compatible lens board, no adapter betweenthem), what's the easiest way of doing it?To unmount the whole lens from one lens board and mount it to anotherlens board takes too much time. A second way I can think of is to get asecond identical shutter assembly and mount that on the other lensboard. To switch the lens, unscrew the front and rear elements from oneshutter and screw them onto the other shutter. <p> The second way seems logical (I have not tried it yet), is thereanything I missed that this can not be done? Another doubt is that Ihave never seen in the Shutterbug that a shutter assembly is sold justby itself, nor I know how much the shutter (say a Copal 00) cost.

Question: I have a lens which I want to use it on 2 different kind of
large format cameras (non-compatible lens board, no adapter between
them), what's the easiest way of doing it?
To unmount the whole lens from one lens board and mount it to another
lens board takes too much time. A second way I can think of is to get a
second identical shutter assembly and mount that on the other lens
board. To switch the lens, unscrew the front and rear elements from one
shutter and screw them onto the other shutter.
